Edwin Dickinson Mini-Retrospective

2011-12-11T08:12:00.005-05:00

Frances Blazer (1937)

Babcock Gallery is showing seven paintings of Dickinson's, dating from 1926 - 1942. The large symbolic paintings, which Dickinson labored over for years, are missing from the mini-retrospective. However, the range of work and the surprising Villa Zingarella (1938) form an inspiring show.

A Visit to the Met

2010-10-12T00:33:00.007-04:00

Every time I visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, I find new things to entrance me. Here are some old favorites, as well as a few new gems.

Degas' "At the Milliner's" (1882)

Degas' "At the Milliner's" (1881)

Degas' "A Woman Ironing" (1873)

Caravaggio's "The Denial of Saint Peter"

Henri Fantin-Latour "Portrait of a Woman" (1885)

Half of the museum was cordoned off because half of the guards were off for the holiday. This was how close I could get to a Rembrandt... sadface.

Puddles of Myself Podcast

2010-07-01T01:27:00.004-04:00

So having become an avid listener of podcasts the last few years, I finally made one with writer/podcaster Matt Domino of the Puddles of Myself blog. Check out episode 17 where I attempt to be articulate about painting and my methods, among other things.

Second favorite -- the whole image composition is amazing.

Check out the new photos from Tim Burton's upcoming version Alice in Wonderland. I'm in love with the shot of Alice walking through the gate with the flower faces in the foreground.

Tisch student, Kacie Kinzer has created the most adorable robot/social experiment you've ever seen. With her "tweenbot" she's tested the kindness of New Yorkers numerous times to see if they will help this cute smiley robot get from point A to point B as he runs into pot holes, gets caught under benches, or just heads the wrong way. So far, we get an A+.

FINALLY!

Andy Suzuki and his band, The Method, are finally releasing their debut album! Featuring my favorite tunes, "300 Pianos", "Feathers and Bones", and "Little July" which was rumored to have almost not made the cut! GASP! Andy has an entrancingly clear and melodic voice, beautifully accompanied by himself on piano, Kozza Babumba on drums, and Jason G on the electric violin. The breadth of sound they cover is sure to touch all musical tastes. Not only is this trio lip-bitingly attractive, they're the next big thing flying under the radar, and are sure to be around for a long time.

Stop by the New York City album release party next Friday, May 1st at Sullivan Hall (7:45 pm).

Drum roll please...

ArtBabble was launched today by the Indianapolis Museum of Art! It's the only online site that exclusively caters to art videos, which can often get lost in the chaos of youtube and other sites. So far it has included works from Art:21, the Los Angeles Museum of Art, the MoMA, the San Fransisco MOMA, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, and the New York Public Library (other than the Indianapolis Museum of course). My Midwest roots are beaming with pride. Let the video searching begin!

Figurative EN-WHY-SEE

2009-04-05T19:08:00.004-04:00

Saw three amazing figurative shows yesterday in E. Midtown/UES!

First a great group show on 79th @ Park, About Face, at Adam Baumgold gallery, featuring pieces from the likes of Picasso, Alex Katz, Chuck Close, and newer faces such as John Borowicz, Ruth Marten, and Renee French.

Then we hopped the bus down to the Paul Fenniak show at Forum Gallery (see post below), but first stumbled into the Steven Assael on the 5th floor. Found an interesting interview with him about the show below.

Paul Fenniak's work on the 4th floor, was enrapturing. His compositional narratives added to his impeccable skill make for a great show. A few favorites:

Pins and Needles, 2007, 42" x 48"

Eavesdropper, 2006, 48" x 48"

Hand me my whiskers and crown!

2009-04-04T00:10:00.002-04:00

Only this can make me want it to be Fall already.
